Peter Kendall
was born in Albemarle, Randolph Co., North Carolina on 29 Jul 1778. His first
wife is unknown, her date of birth is unknown, but she probably died before
1816 when Peter married Nancy (Hogan) Lee. According to the census records
they had at least six children who were:

Elizabeth Kendall - She was
born 29 Nov 1808 in Stewart Co., Tennessee. She married Richard Manly around
1825 in Henry Co., TN. She died 28 Aug 1840.

(female) Kendall - She was born 1810-1815.

children with Richard Lee.

Her children with Richard Lee were:

John Lee - He was born by 1802 and died in xx.

Silence Lee - She was born by 1802 and died in xx.

Nancy, Peter's wife, may have died before 1830 as she doesn't show up
on that census and a third wife, Jemima W. Cook, who was about 10-11 years
younger than Peter, shows up in the 1840 - 1860 census records.
Peter died in 1868, probably in Henry Co., Tennessee. A quote
from Norman Festus Kendall's book, "History and Genealogy-Kendalls, Snodgrasses,
Cunninghams" states" "Courts P. Kendall ... says "My grandfather, Peter Kendall,
was born in Albemarle then in Randolph Co., NC in 1778; left home in TN exodus
in 1794, settled at Paris, Henry Co., TN. Hatter by trade; first surveyor
of note in West TN. Had two sons, Eli, born 1803, Devereaux Jarrett, born
1805. Peter Kendall appears as a State Senator 1813 - 1821. He was a forceful
campaigner and led an active and colorful career and was known throughout
the state as "Old Pewter Foot Kendall". I do not identify my great grandfather".
John Kendall, Peter's brother, followed him into TN and raised a sizable
family. Next came Samuel Kendall, a cousin, batchelor and a star for noise,
first Justice of the Peace in Henry, Co., TN, and later a judge." He was
a signer of the
State of Tennessee
Constitution of 1835.
